Imens i livet hos Edgar Degas

Hele livet
  1. 1853

    The Louvre instead of the law

    After graduating from the lycée in 1853 Degas registered as a copyist in the Louvre, although his father expected him to become a lawyer; in November he duly enrolled in the Faculty of Law but applied little effort to his studies.

  2. 1854

    The studio of Louis Lamothe, a pupil of Ingres

    At twenty Degas entered the studio of Louis Lamothe, a pupil and follower of Ingres. In the Louvre he copied Poussin and Holbein the Younger, and Courbet and Delacroix influenced him.

  3. 1855

    Meets Ingres; the École des Beaux-Arts

    In 1855 Degas met Ingres, whom he revered, and was advised to draw lines and still more lines, from life and from memory. In April of that year he was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts, where he studied drawing with Lamothe.

  4. July 1856 – 1859

    Three years in Italy

    In July 1856 Degas left for Italy, where he stayed for three years. He copied Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian but, contrary to convention, usually picked out of an altarpiece a detail that caught his eye — a secondary figure or a head that he treated as a portrait.

  5. 1861

    The first studies of horses

    Visiting his childhood friend Paul Valpinçon, Degas made the earliest of his many studies of horses.

  6. 1862–1864

    Meets Édouard Manet

    Manet introduced Degas to the circle of future Impressionists. Degas shared their rejection of the academic Salon but would not work in the open air.
